The Metropolitan Metropolitan Railway Company, which operates the Tsukuba Express (TX) train system, will conduct a verification experiment during 2025 to test a ride service using credit card touch payment and QR code reading.
This is an initiative using Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s “stera transit” solution for public transportation, and at some Tsukuba Express stations, the ticket gates will be operated by reading cards (credit, debit, and prepaid) that support touch settlement, smartphones with the cards installed, and QR boarding passes. QR tickets are read at ticket gates.
Payment brands supported are Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay, with Mastercard to be added in due course.
